You know, I wonder if the same people who were screaming about the racially separate proms a few months ago will get on their soapbox about this. Or about the "minority only " dorms on campus. Or the segregated graduation ceremonies. Double standards are so amusing.

What's the big deal? White kids don't go to classes on Fridays anyway. They all head out to their lake houses, ski lodges, or beach homes for the long weekend.

Other students can take the course, which is a requirement for education majors, but during a different period.

Well, its seperate, but equal.

Their approach seems to be that diversity should be recognized and celebrated, but also that minority students can't compete with other students," Mr. Jones said.

Sounds like they are denying white students the "diversity experience" by drawing minority students away from the sections open to them. The same thing goes for segregated dorms, etc.

Imagine ANY course - any course, anywhere - that was open to anyone as long as they weren't black.

The world has gone completely crazy.

University officials say the restricted class offers minority students "a much safer and open environment" in which to discuss issues of race, gender and class.

**Why is THAT? So they can play merry-go-roung with the same dysfunctional beliefs that they may have? I've been in on diversity panels before and sat with blacks students and all it is a worry free zone to trash white people. I used to love 'no offense' and 'we know you're half white but-' and other such disclaimers right before insulting anything and everything white, and not in the nicest of terms. Such a class is a disgusting idea, and not surprising coming from liberals since they are disgusting people. They're hate and loathing of anything white and western european is amazing, about as shock and awe as their smug attitude that minoritites need their own 'safe space' to air their issues.

How can they tell you are white?

My grandkids are part Filippino...one is blond, like his dad, and his brother looks Filippino, like his mom. Or do they check your skin colour on a colour chart for political correctness?

I had only one time slot to take English when I went back to school for a teaching credential. The let me in an English course designed mainly for hispanics. The poems were by hispanics although the teacher was white. I received a "A" in this course, even though I usually got "Bs" in the subject. Probably due to my being a grad student and more worldly(I had been in the work world for 4 years), but I can see a desire to give a course with an easy grade. Does the school have asians? (Usually high grade earners) and do they exclude them from this course?

I am a Democrat because I believe in the equality of all people, regardless of their race. That is why I think we should give free medical degrees to minorities because, well, duh. Like any of those types are going to make it through medical school.
